In case you missed it...

Over the last two weeks I published a four part 
podcast series featuring Darren Doherty 
introduction and discussing the

Darren defines the platform as...

"the basis of work flow & decision-making for all 
of Regrarians Ltd. work in designing, developing 
& training in the field of Regenerative 
Agriculture & Living. The Regrarians Platform is 
based on the â€˜Keyline Scale of Permanenceâ€™ 
developed by the late, great Australian 
agricultural designer, P.A. Yeomans as outlined 
in his 1958 classic, â€˜The Challenge of Landscapeâ€™.

The big evolution in the Regrarians Platform over 
Yeomansâ€™ Keyline Scale of Permanence is its 
inclusion of social & economic themes, whereas 
Yeomans scale was very much centred on 
agriculture. The Regrarians Platform also has 
changes in some of the headings and adds 9. 
Economy & 10. Energy to Yeomans original eight headings."

The Regrarians Platform
1. Climate
2. Geography
3. Water
4. Access
5. Forestry
6. Buildings
7. Fences
8. Soils
9. Economy
10. Energy

If you aren't familiar with the platform, or 
Darren, then these four episodes will give you a 
nice introduction to the platform and the thought 
process behind it - it's brilliant.

I think that the platform itself will 
revolutionize the way that a lot of design is 
done within this sector, and this methodology 
will fill a much needed void.  Because the 
platform takes all of the information that is out 
there within various systems (permaculture, 
keyline, holistic management, etc.) and 
consolidates and organizes it into a decision 
making framework that anyone can follow.  It's 
the framework here that is key, compared to say 
permaculture itself, which lacks an exact process that can be followed.

Darren is also in the process of writing a 
handbook on the platform, and hopefully the book 
will be out in time and available at PV3 in March.

Darren's an absolute wealth of knowledge, have 
been involved in the design and development of 
nearly 2000, mostly broadacre projects across 5 
continents in close to 50 countries, ranging from 
1 million hectare cattle stations to family farms.

Over the past twenty years Darren has traveled 
the world, seen a ton of sites, and interacted 
with farmers and landowners of all make-ups.  He 
understands design, different climates, and working with clients.

And that's why I asked him to speak at 
<http://permaculturevoices.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a57841e3f724f29382a368209&id=437ee70416&e=9abef88a80>PV3.

At PV3 he will be three in depth talks on land 
and farm design, and the design business.

These talks wonâ€™t be shallow and brief.

Each of those talks are 3 hour talks.  So if you 
go attend PV3 and want to learn from Darren you 
will get a lot of opportunity to learn from him, 
and dig deep over the course of 9 hours.

The long form content is one thing that I changed 
with PV3.  Trading one hour talks for longer more 
in depth three hour ones.  All of the talks will 
still focus on high level content  with real 
world, practical and applicable tips and 
methodologies that you can take home and put into action.

If you are looking to begin a change in your 
life, whether major or minor, and you want to 
take on regenerative agriculture for a career, 
and then come on out to PV3 and learn from 
designers like Darren who are leaders in their field.

Darren has two decades of experience and has worked on 2000 design jobs.

Think about that.

How much does he know that you could benefit from?

Save yourself a lot of time and headache and learn from his experience.

The first two waves of tickets for PV3 are done, 
and the third wave of PV3 tickets are on sale now.

Take advantage before this wave closes 
out.

Have a listen to the series with Darren and let me know what you think....

Are there more specific topics mentioned within 
these episodes that you would like to hear more about?

Let me know.  I read every email.
